“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
Using the overarching biblical model of Acts 1:8, the Mission Committee initially defined the geographical regions that represent Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth.
- The Committee intentionally identified individuals and ministries that are active within these regions.
- Each missionary was interviewed and clarification of their roles in the mission field were made, and a supportive relationship was proposed.
- Documents were drawn up defining the relationship with the missionary or ministry, including the amount and duration of support and the specific nature of their outreach.
- The Mission Committee has established and continues to pursue personal relationships with each of the missionaries that PEPC supports.
- The committee will continue to support, organize and provide resources for adult and student mission trips. These trips have been of both long and short term duration, have involved church planting, medical outreach, building physical resources and providing clean water.
